Common use of Reduction from Full-time Status Clause in Contracts

Reduction from Full-time Status. If the City elects to reduce a position from full-time to part-time status, this reduction will be made within each department by job title within classification based on seniority as defined in Article 12 - Seniority, unless the City determines that a bona fide special operational need exists that requires retention of full-time status for a less senior employee. However, if in the sole determination of the City, with ninety (90) days of on-the-job- training, the more senior employee can do the job of the less senior employee, the less senior employee’s hours shall be reduced. In lieu of a reduction from full-time to part-time status, an employee may take a voluntary demotion to a lower job title within classification within the department, requiring similar knowledge, skills and abilities. This is contingent on availability of vacant positions, and the employee shall be paid at the wage established for the lower class. The employee may be placed at any step in the range in accordance with their experience as recommended by the Department Director. If the hours in the affected position are reinstated, then the employee with the greatest seniority has recall rights to those hours. If an employee’s hours are reduced from full-time to below .8 FTE, the City shall continue full- time health benefits based on full-time work for a period of up to three (3) months as long as the employee is working in this capacity. An employee reduced from full-time to part-time status shall not have bumping rights. This Section does not apply to job share positions as defined in Article 5.5.
